Love in the Time of Cholera: Bring a lunch and a lot of patience....

A story of unrequited love...52 years in the making. Bardem plays a man fatally in love with a woman whose life was decided for her by a stern father. Living in and around her for decades he finally makes his move when her husband (Ben Bratt) dies.
This film was written, produced, and directed by Americans yet has the unmistakable feel of a foreign film. It's quite lengthy but compelling as we see how Bardem's life and affairs changed over his years without ever losing his passion for one woman.
Many excellent performances and particular detail to costume and art direction make this an enjoyable watch.

I found it virtually unwatchable - Analog Scott 23:17:04 11/17/07 (3)
sort of a bad outline of a novel that is far more reflective than plot driven. Virtually all of the nuance of the novel is either left behind or so poorly adapted that it became laughable. I thought it was truly a terrible film.

I don't think the director is American. Pretty sure he's English and of course the source material is Columbian.
